Pulau Ubin Transportation

Cycling is a great way to explore Ubin at your own pace.

There are many routes to choose from. Paved roads reach all major areas for easy access. Off the road routes range from easy trails to challenging ones.

Remeber to ask for a basket to be attached to your bike for your belongings. Its FOC;p

I rented my bike for $3 a day. When we went further on, we saw another shop renting the bike for $2 a day.

Pulau Ubin is accessible by Changi Point Ferry Terminal. Take the bumboat from Changi Jetty, which is near the Changi Village Hawker Centre.

The bumboats will take you to Ubin Jetty at a cost of $2 per trip. Maximum of 12 pax per bumboat.

Join the queue and the bumboat will leave when they have 12 pax. If there are less than 12 pax, you might have to wait a little while until enough people turn up. Or you can pay for 12 pax for express service.

One of the best and fastest way to explore the island is by bicycle. You can bring your own or rent it at the village next to the jetty (there are many rental shops for you to choose).

In Oct 2009, the cost of rental of the bicycle is $2 per hour or $8 for the whole day (which is more worth it if you intend to spend many hours here)

Formerly known as Changi Point Terminal, is the terminal with bumboats that will get you to Pulau Ubin.
The fare is $2 per person per trip, add another $2 for bicycle.
The service is 24 hour but depends on bumboat availability, they will wait until there's 12 passengers to depart.
So please make the necessary arrangements if you need a boat at some awkward timing.
The boat journey will take about 10-15 minutes.

To get to Check Jawa, you can either:
1. Trek (about 40 minutes)
2. Cycle (you can rent those in Ubin Town)
3. Van (about 10 minutes ride)
The van will cost you $2 per person per ride, you can easily find those vans at the end of Ubin Jetty upon arrivin in Pulau Ubin.
They will usually give you their phone or pager number so you can contact them when you're done in Check Jawa and bring you back to Ubin Town.

There are different types of bicycles you can rent form Ubin town (price ranges from $3 to $8), you can also bring one of your own if you like.
The roads in Ubin is still partially dirt road, so it will sometime gets muddy when it rains.
